You and Ri-ki were sprawled out on the couch, sharing earbuds and laughing over dumb TikToks. It was easy, like always—but lately, there was this… shift. A lingering glance here, a brush of hands there. Nothing was said, but something was definitely different.

Your phone buzzed with a text from a friend: what are you doing? Without thinking, you typed back, just hanging out with my boyfriend. The moment you hit send, Ri-ki leaned over to peek at your screen—something he always did without asking.

He froze mid-laugh, his eyes narrowing at your reply before blinking like he was making sure he read it right.

“Wait…did you tell your friend I’m your ‘boyfriend’?” He asked, voice pitched slightly higher, surprise written all over his face.
